Save your money. There are class action law suits against some of the manufacturers on these things. They work on ships but not on cars. Do some research.

btw if you look at the image carefully from CounterAct Electronic Rust Protection System | Canadian Tire you will notice that the second image where there is no rust is Photoshoped. I would not trust them with a thousand foot pole.

Here is a link --> One of many you will find.

Electronic rust prevention

It is one of the most rediculous products out there. The sad thing is a lot of dealerships try to to push this crap as fact and charge way more than what Canadian tire is charging...

It comes down to simple physics as to why it doesn't and can't work.

How about this one on Canadianddriver.com

Here is a snippet from the article -->

"There’s a catch however. To create an electrical current, there must be a complete electrical circuit. In boats, the water forms one part of the circuit. In buildings, the ground forms one part of the circuit. Cars however, are not immersed in water or buried in the ground. If there was a good
return path through water or dirt, this concept might work, but it doesn’t have one. Another problem is that to create a charge over the complete vehicle body, the electronic rust prevention systems would have to use enough electricity from the vehicle’s battery that it would keep draining the battery so your vehicle wouldn’t start.

Would I recommend electronic rust prevention? No. I would save my money and apply it to keeping the vehicle clean."

Thanks for the info. I did do a search, but got mixed results/reviews. Those links cleared some things up though. Mainly that I'm not going near this thing.
